Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions or post-pregnancy restoration. Dr. Schaffer tailors implant size, profile, and placement to align with individual anatomy and goals. His expertise ensures natural-looking results that boost confidence and self-image.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles for a flatter contour. This procedure addresses post-pregnancy changes or weight loss effects. Dr. Schaffer combines liposuction with muscle repair to achieve comprehensive, long-lasting results that enhance body confidence.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or neck. Dr. Schaffer uses advanced techniques to sculpt the body with minimal downtime. Patients achieve smoother contours and improved proportions through this precise, safe procedure.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful facial contours by addressing sagging skin and wrinkles. Dr. Schaffer customizes incisions and techniques to maintain natural expressions while achieving significant rejuvenation. Results provide a refreshed, revitalized appearance that aligns with the patient's desired aesthetic.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery corrects enlarged male breast tissue for a flatter chest contour. Dr. Schaffer combines liposuction and excision to address both fat and glandular tissue. This procedure improves self-esteem and allows patients to feel confident in fitted clothing or without shirts.

To all of you out there doing research on cosmetic surgery. Seek no more and make your appointment with Dr Schaffer. He is absolutely the best of the best. He has an amazing gift to transform and takes every case very serious to make you feel confident about yourself. I am 16 weeks post op tummy tuck (July19,2021) and my results are looking amazing. A couple of years ago He also did Blepharoplasty on me. I had the bags under my eyes making me look older and tired the results were amazing so when I decide on a tummy tuck I went back to him because thats how great he is. He takes his time to explain

Dr. Schaffer and his staff made my entire experience absolutely wonderful. They took the time to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Schaffer is an amazing doctor and I could not be happier with my breast augmentation. He explained all of my options in great detail so I would know exactly what to expect. Even then they are better than I ever could have imagined! It was the best decision I ever made and I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to everyone!

I LOVED my experience with Dr. Schaffer!!! I felt like he actually listened to me and inserted his opinion when requested. My surgery was flawless, the anesthesiologist made me feel like we were BEST FRIENDS as soon as she walked into the room prior to my surgery, and the results were more than I could have asked for! I would 100% recommend Dr. Schaffer to any of my friends and family!

Had my first postop appointment today and got to see my new breasts for the first time. Everything seemed like a blur when I was in the office; but as I sit here at home reflecting on all the events that led up to this, Im overcome with emotion and tears of joy. My whole life is about to change and Im so grateful. Im grateful that Dr. Schaffer said yes to my breast reduction surgery; Im grateful to the office staff for getting my surgery covered, guiding me every step of the way so that I felt comfortable and informed and for being patient and caring with me the entire time. Im grateful

Dr Schaffer and his team have been phenomenal!!! I had a full tummy tuck and implant exchange and I could not be happier with the results only 2 weeks later. When looking for a surgeon, I researched incision/scar placement and belly buttons and Dr Schaffer had the best outcomes of all the docs I spent months looking through. My scar placement is a million times better than I hope for and my belly button is adorable, even though it's not finished healing yet!!! The staff in the office have been amazing as well!! They are all so kind and caring. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, you have found

I am officially 6 months breast aug post op and I am very pleased with my results. I love the size Dr.Schaffer and I settled for. He has a very natural approach to sizing, my body looks well proportionate and everyone thinks my breasts are big and natural. I love them! Highly recommend! He takes Care Credit! I financed mine for 12 months interest free. There is times they do specials where you can finance for 18 months interest free too!!
